The universal remote control feature lets you control cable boxes, Blu-ray players, home theatres, and other external devices connected to the TV using the TV's remote control. In order to use the TV's remote control as a universal remote, you must first connect the IR extender cable (included).
You can also use the Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) function to operate some external Samsung devices with your TV's remote control without any additional setup. Refer to the "Using Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)" section for more information.
Certain external devices connected to the TV may not support the universal remote feature.
Setting Up the Universal Remote Control
To use the TV remote as a universal remote, connect the IR extender cable (included) to the One Connect, and then position it within 10cm of the external device's remote control receiver.
The colour and design of the IR extender cable may vary depending on the model.
When you connect the cable, you have to match the cable's colour and socket's colour.
Connect the IR extender cable to the One Connect's IR output connector as shown in the diagram, and place the transmitter end within 10 cm of the external device's receiver pointing in the direction of the remote receiver. However, there must be no obstacles between the IR extender cable and the external device. The presence of obstacles interferes with the transmission of the remote control signal.
When you use an external device registered with the Universal Remote Control on the Samsung Smart Control, you can use the external device without connecting an IR extender cable. However, if you want to use an external device using Motion Control or Voice Control, be sure to connect an IR extender cable.

Before Using 3D Viewing Mode
3D Precautions
Warning
- In 3D viewing mode, the screen may flicker under fluorescent lighting (50Hz \~ 60Hz) or three-wave lighting.
If this occurs, turn off the lighting or adjust it to a low level.
- When you switch the picture mode from 3D view, the 3D view mode turns off, and the 3D glasses no longer provide a 3D view.
When you turn off 3D mode, the 3D glasses also turn off in a few moments.
- If you are watching TV with 3D glasses and you lie on your side, the picture may look darker or may not be visible.
- If the 3D glasses are defective or damaged, they cannot be repaired and need to be exchanged for a new pair. The repair service is free of charge within the warranty period. Note that the warranty does not cover damage caused by the user.
- The actual 3D effect may be experienced differently depending on the viewer. The 3D effect may not be experienced by persons who has a large difference of vision between the left and right eyes.
- In 3D viewing mode, watch TV within the recommended distance.
The 3D functionality of the glasses may not work properly if you move out of the recommended range for about 3 seconds or more.
If you stay outside the recommended range, the 3D glasses lose wireless wireless communications with the TV. If this occurs, the 3D display turns off and, a few seconds later the glasses turn off.
- The 3D glasses may not work properly if there are any nearby active 3D devices or electronic or wireless communication devices (for example, a device that uses the 2.4GHz frequency range such as a microwave or AP). If this occurs, move the devices away from the 3D glasses.
- The Samsung Multi View 3D Glasses may not work properly near metal objects or near an electromagnetic field. If this occurs, move the metal objects or the electromagnetic device away from the 3D glasses.
- The vividness of the image may degraded if you watch a 3D movie in a location exposed to direct sunlight or illumination.
- The temples of the 3D glasses do not fold. Do not attempt to fold the temples. You can damage the 3D glasses.
- When watching 3D content for an extended period of time without averting your eyes, the 3D glasses may turn off automatically (applicable to the SSG-3570 only).
- Take off the 3D glasses and put them on again if they do not work in 3D viewing mode first (applicable to the SSG-3570 only).
Caution
3D Health and Safety Information Users are required to read the following information before using 3D.
- A supervising adult should check on any children watching 3D TV regularly. Children experiencing eye fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea while viewing 3D TV should stop watching immediately.
- Do not use the 3D glasses for any purpose other than their intended purpose. Do not use them as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, or protective goggles.
- Some users may feel dizzy, nauseous, or experience headaches in the 3D or Samsung Multi View function. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop watching the 3D item, remove the 3D glasses, and rest.
- An extended period of watching TV in 3D viewing mode may cause eye fatigue. In this case, stop watching 3D immediately, take off the 3D glasses, and allow your eyes to rest.
- Do not use the 3D function or 3D glasses while walking or moving around. Using 3D mode or wearing 3D glasses while moving around may result in injury due to walking into objects, tripping and/or falling.
- Wearing the 3D glasses and lying on your side while watching TV may damage the temples of the 3D glasses.
- The temples of the 3D glasses are unfolded. This may damage the 3D glasses.
- Because the 3D glasses react to acceleration, repeatedly shaking the 3D glasses may consume the battery faster than normal (applicable to the SSG-3570 only).
Safety Precautions
The following information is designed to ensure the user's safety and prevent property damage. Read the information carefully.
- Do not expose the product to direct sunlight or a hot or humid environment. Failure to do so may result in fire or a product malfunction.
- Do not apply force to the lenses of the 3D glasses. Do not drop or bend the product. This may result in a product malfunction.
- Keep the 3D glasses and accessories out of the reach of children so that they do not swallow them. If they swallow them, consult a doctor immediately.
- Do not spray water or detergent directly onto the product to clean it. This may result in fire, electric shock, damage to the exterior, and/or the removal of the markings.
- Do not apply chemicals containing alcohol, solvent, or surfactant such as wax, benzene, thinner, pesticide, air freshener, lubricant, or cleaner to the product. These chemicals may cause the product's exterior to become discoloured or cracked, or labels or instructions to be removed. Use only a soft cloth made from superfine fibers or cotton flannels for cleaning the product as the surface or the lenses can easily crack. Because the product is easily scratched by a foreign substance, make sure to dust off the cloth before using it.
- Do not sleep while wearing the 3D glasses. Wearing the 3D glasses while sleeping may damage them.
- Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the 3D glasses yourself. Do not use a product that is damaged.
- Take care that you do not injure your eyes with the edges of the frame of the 3D glasses when wearing them.
- Put the 3D glasses on and take them off with both hands.
- Use only approved batteries, and make sure to insert the batteries in the correct polarities. If the batteries are inserted in the wrong polarities, the batteries may explode or leak internally, which may result in fire, injury, or contaminate the environment (applicable to the SSG-5100 only).
- Swallowing the cylindrical (button type) battery can cause serious damage to your internal organs. If this happens, contact a doctor immediately. (applicable to the SSG-5100 only)
- Keep old batteries out of the reach of children to prevent children from swallowing them. If they swallow them, consult a doctor immediately (applicable to the SSG-5100 only).

Wireless Internet Precautions
- This TV supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g /n communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n. Video files stored on a device connected to the TV via DLNA may not play back smoothly.
- To use wireless Internet, the TV must be connected to a wireless router or modem. If the wireless router supports DHCP, the TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.
- Select a channel that is not currently in use for the wireless router. If the channel set for the wireless router is currently being used by another device, the result is usually interference and/or a communications failure.
- Most wireless networks have an optional security system. To enable a wireless network's security system, you need to create a security key using characters and numbers. This security key is then needed to connect to a security-enabled AP.
Wireless Security Protocols
The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols and is unable to connect to non-certified wireless routers:
- Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
• Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES
In compliance with the newest Wi-Fi certification specifications, Samsung TVs do not support WEP or TKIP security encryption in networks running in the 802.11n mode.
If the wireless router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect the TV to your network using PBC (Push Button Configuration) or a PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS automatically configures the SSID and WPA key settings.
Computer Connection Precautions
When you connect your TV to a computer, set the computer's video card to one of the standard resolutions listed in the tables below or on the next page. The TV will automatically adjust to the resolution you choose. Note that the optimal and recommended resolution is 1920 x1080.
Choosing a resolution not included in the tables can result in a blank screen or just the power indicator turning on. Refer to the user manual of your graphics card for compatible resolutions.

Glossary
• 480i/480p/720p/1080i/1080p
Generally refers to the number of effective scanning lines that determines the screen's resolution. There are two scanning methods: interlaced and progressive.
- Scanning
Sequential projection of pixels to form images. The higher the number of pixels, the clearer and more vivid the images.
- Progressive
A sequential scanning method that scans every line, one after another.
- Interlaced
A staggered scanning method that scans every other line until the end of the screen and then fills in the remaining lines.
Example) If the number of horizontal scan lines is 480i
Scans 240 lines from start to finish and then scans the remaining 240 lines for a total of 480 lines.
* General differences between 480i and 480p are as follows:
| 480i 480p | ||
| Horizontal Frequency | 15.75Khz 31.5Khz | |
| FPS 30 60 | ||
| Lines on Screen | 480 480 |
• ARC (Audio Return Channel)
Generally, a separate RCA or optical cable needs to be connected in order for the TV audio to be heard through an AV receiver. With receivers that support ARC, however, digital audio can be transmitted via the HDMI cable only.
• DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
Connecting the TV's DVI connector to a computer's DVI connector via an HDMI-to-DVI cable lets you use the TV as a computer monitor. However, HDMI-to-DVI cables deliver video signals only. You must connect a set of speakers to the computer using a separate cable to hear the computer's audio.
• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a method of transmitting both video and audio signals via a single cable.
• Dynamic versus Static IP Addresses
If the network requires a dynamic IP address, use an ADSL modem or router that supports the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values the TV needs to access the Internet, so they do not have to be entered manually. Most home networks use a dynamic IP address.
If the network requires a static IP address, enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually when setting up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If the network requires a static IP address, use an ADSL modem that supports DHCP. ADSL modems that support DHCP also allow static IP addresses.
- Ethernet
Ethernet is a LAN (Local Area Network) that uses coaxial cables standardised by the IEEE.
- Component Connection
Component connections are mostly used for game consoles and transmit the video signal by splitting it into a luminance signal (Y) and two colour signals (Pb and Pr). The connector is marked as [Component IN]_(Pr, Pb, Y) on the back of the TV. On some devices, it is sometimes marked as Cr, Cb, Y. Cb and Cr are the digital conversions of the Pb and Pr signals.
The connectors are normally colour-coded red (R), blue (B), and green (G) and offer the best picture quality possible for an analogue connection.
